BeamMeUp by June Kahn
Article for all you Pilates and BeamFit enthusiasts
Practitioners know that Pilates matwork is one of the (if not the) most effective exercise methods out there. Yet sometimes, the stronger muscles take over the work of weaker ones. The results? Some muscles aren’t utilised and don’t develop properly, and students don’t get the results they expect.

Top 10 Tips From The Drummond Team to help you and your clients survive the festive period – we canvassed the office and tutor team for their expert advice on how to make it through to 2012 in 1 piece!
- “Be prepared” – Kirsty who heads up operations in the clinic, recommends preparing your body in advance for the christmas season. Treat your body like a temple to build up stamina and resiliance to those christmas bugs by eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. That way when it all gets busy you are more likely to bounce back with ease!
- “Drink less and dance more” – is the advice from our student services manager, Anne. With a large glass of red wine coming in at around 170Kcals then she has a good point. All that dancing will burn off some excess calories as well as boosting those endorphins.
- “Stop eating when you’re full” – is Daisy’s (our admin assistant) advice. This really is about being in tune with your feelings of satiety-being aware of whether you are genuinely hungry or just picking at food through boredom or stress.
- “Put a pound coin into your advent calendar pockets instead of chocolate” – this came (perhaps somewhat belatedly for us) from senior tutor Gill- you can then use the money for a nice treat-maybe a new workout top, instead of adding those unnecessary calories.
- “Get out as much as possible – to revive yourself. Fresh air works wonders as well as working up an appetite for more of the good stuff!” this is from Mel who heads up GroupEx
- “Have a glass of water between each drink – and switch red wine for champagne” recommends Jo, our quality manager. This will help to keep calories down with champagne coming in at typically 1/3rd of the calories of red wine – great excuse!
- Appropriately, Louise, our Certifications Officer, recommends nuts! – they are full of good fats- just avoid salted ones and don’t sit next to the bowl- just a handful.
- Alex, Clinical Director, advises keeping track of your portion sizes – just because it is good stuff doesn’t mean you have to over-fill your plate- and definitely no second helpings!!
